It's also the first movie that's coming out after Fox finally started focusing on trying to create a cohesive and coherent universe instead of just throwing random crap at the wall. So that gives me a little extra hope for this.

Or in other words, after Avengers made a metric fuckton of money and the other studios were like "I want".

So why am I excited for this? It looks kinda offbeat and different.

There's still time for the appearance of a leaked workprint with unfinished special effects. Or a time-traveling whistleblower from the year 2000 could point out that Jackman's the wrong height. Game change.

@JD the script changed considerably when Mangold was named director. The original script written by McQuarrie had one mutant in it...Wolverine, and was extremely close to the original arc by Claremont and Miller. As has been mentioned before in here, Mangold said that script is about 80 percent intact, and of course we know from the trailers now what changes have been made. It's still fairly close, but slightly altered.

Also really this is the second movie that is part of the new initiative. The first of course was 2011's "X-Men: First Class".

He said in his script that he wrote. I'm assuming that he forgot Silver Samurai was a mutant during this interview, or for some reason he wasn't in that first script I'm sticking with that he forgot since he wrote this sucker several years ago now.
